Was really good to see some long-lost strangers last night on Zoom
I’m going to assume I was one of them, and say it was really good to see everyone again. Did anyone else show up after I left?
You were one! And RJ and the mysterious Evil Sheldon and I hadn’t seen Timeloose in a while
We need to get Tundra to show up some time. I text him occasionally. He’s still lurking, just keeping busy with life and staying unplugged.
Don’t forget Trials and Trippelations!
Of course!! T & T was there!!
I miss all the fun.
I wasent working donut was projects at home and fire pit with the kiddos.
Maybe next Friday/Saturday.
So it was.
Gah. The new Apple autocorrect keeps getting worse.
Maybe check the car’s cameras
HOLLYWOOD, CA – A woman’s decomposing body was discovered inside a Tesla in Hollywood, sparking a complex investigation. The car, linked to a singer currently on tour, had been left unattended for weeks, drawing attention from neighbors and authorities alike.
Residents reported the vehicle due to its prolonged presence on their street and a suspicious odor. When the car was towed, the body was discovered in the trunk, leading to the current investigation by the LAPD.
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “Give someone the boot.”
So today is my and Dude’s 23rd anniversary, and we are once again at Buck Tui (Thai/KC BBQ fusion) where they have brisket rangoon that are absolute ambrosia.
https://www.bucktuibbq.com/
congrats
Huzzah!
Contratulations on 23.
Not Buck Tick?

Congratulations as well!
Obligatory.
Brisket Rangoon DOES sound really good. 😋

Congratulations! I didn’t know that Buck Tui girl was still around, I thought she was busted for some crypto scheme. Good to hear she’s branching out.
Holy crap, that place sounds amazing.
Congrats!
It is. It’s a place we save for special occasions.
Congrats Mo!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats!!
Congrats and a long distant hug for you and a handshake for the Dude
What are you doing here on your anniversary?
The Euphoria and Immaculate actress told Variety that she put on an extra 30 pounds to play the role.
Noooooooooo!
I rather like that motorhome, but I still lean toward the Aliner-style pop-up camper, as I’m leery about a motorized RV that may be parked for extended periods and have its engine suffer. Now I just have to make sure there’s a Subaru that can tow the thing. [Disclaimer: pipe dreaming, with zero RV experience.]
Modern Subies have plenty of power.
One of my purple peppers turned red yesterday, so I harvested it. I just cooked it up today with ground lamb, muschrooms, butter, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders, put it on keto tortillas with fresh feta.
😘
I did some taste tests of the pepper on its own – it was sweeter and tastier than store bought. Though it is a little smaller, maybe 1/4-1/3 the amount fo pepper when cut into slices
Excellent. I’m planning on doing a garden cleanout tomorrow. I’ve been neglecting it for at least a week.
Nice.
Sure fucking wish I could grow tomatoes, peppers, or other fruits without the accursed tree rats (aka squirrels) tearing them off, taking one bite, and throwing them on the ground to rot.
I’ve only had luck with collards and similar greens since they don’t appear to recognize them as food.
I kept this plant indoors. So I have just the one, but no squirrels.
Neither do I. 🫤
If I had more space in front of sun-receiving windows, I’d do that too.
I think the only way would be to construct some kind of enclosure out of hardware cloth and tuba-fours. It’ll be #1,283,183,492 on the “list of things I have to build/repair around the house”.
I didn’t use sunlight, I put grow lights over the pot. I had planted the seeds on Christmas day, so wasn’t expecting natural light for months.
I take it there are no cottontails in your area.

The future of a Montana animal shelter remains uncertain after a cloud of smoke from two pounds of methamphetamine seized and incinerated by the FBI filled up the building and sent workers to the hospital.
The smoke started to fill the building of the nonprofit Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter in Billings on Wednesday while the FBI used an incinerator at the animal shelter to burn the drugs, city officials said.
Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland said Friday that the smoke was sucked in apparently because of negative pressure. A fan was supposed to be on hand in such situations to reverse the pressure so smoke would flow out of the building, but it wasn’t readily available.
The incinerator is used primarily to burn carcasses of animals euthanized or collected by the city’s animal control division. But every couple of months, local law enforcement or FBI agents use it to burn seized narcotics, Iffland said.
Our best. Our brightest. Maybe they should have asked somebody how to run the thing.
This article is pretty short on coherent storytelling. Why is the animal shelter in jeopardy? I’m really not sure.
all of its employees were high on the job and the Feds arrested them?
Ive tested many incinerators. From medical waste, to cadaver pieces (University of Cincinnati med school), municipal waste, hazardous waste, etc.
If you’re making smoke somebody or somebodies don’t know how to operate the damn thing.

Lost in the storm and drank of the past few days but what the hell?
Schumer added at the last-minute as part of the Defense bill – so basically a ruse to get a reaction.
Oh, it was kind of a piggyback then to an important defense spending bill? Yeah, that was a stunt. They really need to change the procedure on that one.
It’s funny because all those people with TDS really think the Dems are the good guys and want those files released when it’s all just political theater. If they thought for a second Republicans would vote to release, the Dems would quietly shut the fuck up about it as well.
This. It has gotten beyond tiresome. Release everything not-redacted or STFU.
DC is a pit of vipers.
Collateral damage
One student holed up in his house for two days after witnessing Charlie Kirk’s assassination, nervous about going back to the Utah college campus where the conservative activist was shot. Another, unable to sleep or shake what she saw and heard, called her dad to come take her home.
As investigators spend the weekend digging deeper into suspect Tyler James Robinson ahead of his initial court appearance Tuesday, students who witnessed Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University are reckoning with trauma, grief and the pall the killing has cast on their community.
Bulldoze it.
Grow the fuck up already! I have no sympathy for these wastes of the human form.
People die.
People get murdered.
Life goes on.
The weak need to get tough or get left behind.
If they were there and saw it, I’m more than willing to give them a pass. Seeing someone brutally murdered in front of you isn’t some easy thing.
Can we bulldoze every other college too?
Yes please.
Random thought totally unconnected with anything:
How much does the Asian squat toilet contribute to greater mobility in old age? If you have to perform and hold the deep squat for at least a couple minutes a day, that’s a big fitness benefit. It’s a given that capabilities decrease with age, but maybe a feedback loop forms where they think “I’m old, I can’t do as much anymore” and subsequently lose abilities due to idleness. I’m just speculating; I’m not really “old” by any objective measure (except that of my stepdaughters, who consider me the most decrepit old geezer in existence).
I would just hold it in until I got home to a real toilet. I mean, I mostly do that now.
I was warned before I went to China to bring my own toilet paper and soap (the workers steal both). What they din’t tell me was that there were no doors on the squatty potty stalls.
You wouldn’t like Harris County lock-up either, with that attitude. What they lack in stainless steel toilet privacy, they make up in orange drink.
I mentioned this once but my favorite moment in China was at some theater in Xian, watching some old fart German guy stumble out of a squatter in horror. I had visited earlier already, and ho-lee-fuk I could barely restrain myself from a barking laugh.
Basic training in the Old Army allowed you to meet 7 of your newest and closest friends. There were no barriers and no privacy but at least paper products were available.

Flushable wipes, the great lie.
I am the rare renter here so I can state that under no circumstances does any landlord allow that shit.
For you owners, are they not actually flushable?
They flush through the toilet and then clog further down the pipes causing even more expensive damage.
Not septic safe.
I drink a lot of coffee, I visit the facilities many times a day and at night. Because of physical infirmities I have to sit to take care of any business, a 12 inch (vertical) toilet. Mrs F is quite short, I am not. Standards are 14″, handicapped usually 16″.
Old knees sometimes use the aid of a walker, especially at night when I’m groggy and no glasses.
I had to use a potty heightener during a dark period last year which I have mostly erased from memory.
I had trouble getting in and out of bed and the recliner, too. Fun times.
6’5”. I love the handicapped toilets.
Same height. I’ve shrunk a little the last 20-30 years and now don’t stand as straight as I once did but the low riders work out OK

XY throws out so much meat that’s still good, I swear. I’m debating driving 6 hours to go fetch 36 lbs of chicken breast.
I should say his company MAKES him throw it out.
To be fair, does Chipotle want another food poisoning story?
Yeesh. I think I inherited my Dad’s taboo on throwing food away.
I almost never throw meat away. I do this by autistic-level meal planning so that I only buy what we expect to eat, and by quickly freezing anything left over until I think of something to do with it.
Well, like, can’t that go to a homeless shelter or something????
Is it a restaurant or grocery store? Our Meijer uses the Flash Food app. When things are about to expire, it goes in a cooler by the service desk. Mrs. TOK keeps an eye on the app and buys things as they are listed at a steep discount. Then I go and pick it up. If you don’t get there in a day, they throw it out. Meat, vegetables, sometime even bacon. You have to either eat it right away or freeze it, but we do that anyway.
Restaurant. He manages franchises that set up in the college student unions. Chick-Fil-A is one and this is from that.
State laws sometimes. My SIL ran a restaurant in CO and they were prohibited by law from giving food away. Not sure what level of government made the call.
Yeah, I worked the 2nd Austin F1 race for some school chariry thing and at the end of the night, we were throwing out whole smoked brisket that we were ordered not to give away or take home. It seemed criminal.
Akira-
I don’t know about the toilet part, but a bunch of “old people fitness” stuff has been popping up on youtube, including miraculous tales of the benefits of the deep squat. How do they know? I identify as a 20 year old college kid.
Anyway, I have been working on some of it, like planks and working on better joint mobility and flexibility. Working on the deep squat hanging onto the kitchen sink/counter for stability. I am seeing noticeable improvement; more depth, less stiffness. I have spent way too much time sitting on my ass lately.
That’s awesome. Sometimes I deep squat and read a book. I can only do it about 10 minutes though before my upper back starts to get fatigued – another thing to work on I guess.
Flexibility is probably a big part of injury avoidance.
My wife is a big proponent of older people lifting weights of course. She says if you can do squats you can get on and off a toilet. If you can dead lift you can pick up groceries or your grand kid. I can’t argue with that logic.
I can’t argue with that logic.

I have to ask, this current queen of the boobage, has anyone actually seen them? Are they real or bolt-ons? They dont appear to be bolt-on from my few superficial looks.
It is both remarkable to me and unsurprising that the world revolves around men’s fascination for women. Unsurprising because A) women and children are the reason we exist (see the males of various species that die upon successfully mating) and B) We are still in the monkey stage.
It would appear that she has done nudes scenes. They appear to be real.
Yes.
I saw a post someplace where she explained her Plan A and Plan B plans for succeeding in show biz. Plan A was roughly: take acting lessons; get an agent; start with small roles; then work your way up. Plan B was to show her tits.
She fully embraces that she is successful because of her looks. She seems remarkably well adjusted someone some working in Hollywood at this time. It think that is a large part of her appeal.
Well, ok then.
My next question is how does she stack up, so to speak, as an artist?
She is willing to put on 30lbs and risk her greatest asset to play a role? I am gonna say A+
Can Sydney Sweeney Act
Sydney Sweeney’s acting abilities are a subject of significant debate, with critics and audiences offering polarized opinions. While some praise her for strong performances in dramatic roles like Reality and Immaculate, others argue she lacks range, charisma, and consistent skill, particularly in comedic or leading roles, with her performance in Anyone But You being a frequent point of criticism.
As of September 2025, she has not yet proven herself as a major movie star, with her success more prominent in television and streaming platforms.
Sweeney has received positive feedback for her dramatic performances, with some viewers noting her effectiveness in intense scenes in Euphoria, Immaculate, and Reality.
Critics have frequently criticized her for being “wooden,” “monotone,” and lacking emotional depth in non-dramatic roles, particularly in romantic comedies like Anyone But You.
Her physical appearance and perceived “sexuality” are often cited as factors in her fame, with some suggesting her acting is overshadowed by her image.
Despite the criticism, Sweeney has demonstrated ambition and versatility by producing her own projects, such as The Voyeurs, and is set to star in the upcoming biographical sports film Christy, which may offer a platform to showcase a broader range.
A notable incident occurred in April 2024 when veteran producer Carol Baum publicly stated Sweeney was “not pretty” and “can’t act,” calling Anyone But You “unwatchable,” though Sweeney has defended her work and received support from others who believe she is a competent dramatic actress.
They’re real and they’re spectacular?
They’re real . . . . yes
and they’re spectacular? no
Image search shows lots of side-by-side images of various actresses/models next to Sweeney. There are better looking women out there. But, she’s still top tier.
In the old days, she would have been relegated to teen movies where her willingness to strip down got her roles.
She seems to be actively trying to move beyond that fate in her career right now.
There it is.
Flexibility is probably a big part of injury avoidance.
Absolutely.
I’m definitely in the “it gets worse before it gets better” phase, but I’m sick and tired of being so tight and stiff.

Also found out my wife is lurking here. I am afraid she misunderstands glibs. She reads the links but not the comments
Would that make her an anti-Glib? Not that she’s against us, just that she’s the opposite. 🤔
She said the inside jokes were too difficult to sort out 😝
I read the links (close them if they end up being sports stuff) and read the comments.
I do comment before reading the comments.

I think a lot of us do just the opposite.
XY sent me his creative writing prompts sheet and asked me to explain. While I obliged and I feel honored, I’m fucking giddy that he’s not asking ChatGPT for advice or just plugging the prompts in and asking it to write it for him.
No shit. I worry about AI making people dependent, unconfident, and well, just plain dumb. If I were running a school, there would be no availability of AI outside of maybe one course that goes over how AI works, what it can do, what it can’t do, and what you shouldn’t do with it. It would probably require making kids write papers with physical books or a whitelist of informational websites for research.
Writing things yourself has so many other benefits besides checking off the task as “complete” (as I’m sure you know better than anyone). Humans are meant to DO things and MAKE things, not sit on our asses watching TV while machines do all the work.

Given your history with XY, I think this is a big deal. A big deal in a good way.
To be fair, that year he spent at the “boy’s home” (I don’t know what else to call it, 1/3 jail, 1/3 psych unit, 1/3 school) really turned him around. He was born bored and thinking he was in charge, and his opinion of himself isn’t unfounded. He’s a really good manager, which is its own skill. It was just, he needed somebody with more power than we had (hello, CPS) to rein him in. Glad it happened when he was young.
Glad it happened when he was young.
Yes. Otherwise he would be in jail. Probably for a long time. And what would he learn there? To be a better criminal?
That’s wonderful!
So I saw a typical handful of elderly hippies protesting “Dick Tater” on the way to food shopping today and thought, “Your side just assassinated a young man whom you couldn’t tear down with just words because you don’t have anything constructive to say. Have you no shame?”
No, they do not.
Good evening, all. Was on Tres, oversize duty all day, today, which 90% pleased me. (Would prefer to be more Crush-adjacent, but I still made her laugh several times.) Though I was sometimes pushing a few hundred pounds around, turns out I had a quite light day when it comes to walking. Only 8.5mi today, usually closer to 10-12.
On Asian squat toilets: There’s something to the bending and keeping ‘active,’ as opposed to just ‘sitting.’ I’ve used ’em plenty for pissing but never for a deuce. What we were told, and there’s some physical logic to this, is that squatting is a far more natural position for your bowels to evacuate. Toilet paper over there is kinda like batteries over here. Lots of public bathrooms wouldn’t have their own, cuz justified(?) fears that old folk would steal it.
Awkward, didn’t learn ‘how’ as a kid, and titanium hips, so ‘nope’ for me, but other weiguks didn’t use ’em in Korea, either. Also fun: You’d often see folk squatting in the same position when they wanted to ‘sit’ somewhere and a chair wasn’t available. Even old folk could hold that pose ‘effortlessly’ for a shockingly long time without ever flinching.
I miss my Western toilet in one of my apartments there. It had what I call “The Assblaster,” a bidet-like fountain that mostly replaced toilet paper. Mine was not gentle. That thing was a damn fire hose for my ass, *way* more civilized than the ruffled-TP approach.
I still think that’s an old wives tale meant to conceal the fact that nobody wants to do that.
Funny stories, including signs in the stalls telling them NOT to do this, of old Koreans using western toilets as squatters, with their shoes on the toilet seat. I saw the clear marks left behind more than once.
That’s an awkward angle to keel off the toilet. Knowing Koreans and hooch, I’m positive it’s a regular occurrence. Kinda makes me chuckle.
The best thing about fucking a fat girl?
In the dark, no matter which part you grab, it feels like it could be titty.
That made me laugh.
How do you keep from shitting on your pants?
Or pissing on them?
Enraging if true.
If true, Big Pharma will shut that shit down and have her assassinated with a mad quicknez.
There’s no money in generics that work.
I have still seen barely a word comparing deaths in various countries around the world.
I would think that if Whatever Stupid Name they gave to the experimental junk that was conveniently already under development was so miraculous that the media would have pointed to the massive piles of corpses in the third world that didn’t benefit from Whatever Stupid Name but… that didn’t happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Music to drink by – I love this band so much.
Wall-of-sound shoe-gaze perfection. Enjoy.

I recommend The Stone Roses for extreme drunkeness.
*noted*
I love them too. I can easily pivot there next.
I’m on a dream-pop jag right now.
That album knocked my socks off – I hadn’t heard anything like it in backwater Buffalo. It was the highlight of the otherwise incredibly shitty night auditor ghetto hotel job I was working then.
The best way, in my estimation, to enjoy them, is start with a mess of cocaine in the late afternoon/early evening along with heavy drink. About the time you are out of blow and the drink is starting to power though, take some mushroom based psychedelics, preferably baked into a tootsie roll like snack treat. Then, just before the tracers and gremlins start, start the disc. It all becomes clear from there.
I was recently talking to a “band dad” at a BBQ and he said he was surprised at how much the band kids partied. I said ” they’re musicians, what the fuck did you expect? They get into shit that scares the jocks.” Everyone but the poor dad laughed.
lol Been there done that.

PBS documentary on Minnesota history by Dakota man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IhpVg3kgiI
***
Chris Mato Nunpa, Ph.D. retired Associate Professor of Indigenous Nations and Dakota Studies, Southwest Minnesota State University, Marshall, Minnesota. Mato Nunpa, a Dakota Elder, scholar and tireless advocate for indigenous rights, spoke on the 500 years of genocide of native peoples, killing many times more than the Nazi Holocaust by the government of the United States. In fact Hitler looked to the treatment of American indigenous people as a model for his “Solution to the Jewish problem.”
